Misting assassins attack Elend at an Assembly meeting, and when Vin brutally kills them in front of Elend, their relationship deteriorates.
Zane pressures Vin to kill her enemies and flee with him, abandoning the city. Despite his personal improvements, the Assembly votes to depose Elend, using the very laws written by Elend, and elect Lord Penrod as their new king.
The Terris keeper Tindwyl arrives at Luthadel to train Elend to be a better king. On their way back to Luthadel, Marsh disappears. They discover an engraving that was authored by the Terrisman who once claimed to have found the Hero of Ages, which begins "I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted." They leave quickly, Sazed taking a charcoal rubbing. Marsh – Kelsier's brother and a Steel Inquisitor – leads Sazed to a Ministry stronghold called "The Conventical of Seran," the former base of the Inquisitors. In the South, Sazed has come across suspicious deaths that appear to be caused by the mists. At night, she begins sparring with Zane, Straff's Mistborn son and Elend's half brother. Vin becomes increasingly suspicious of everyone around her. Vin and Elend discover a set of discarded bones in their keep, and with help from Vin's shapeshifting Kandra, OreSeur, realize that another Kandra has taken the form and identity of one of Kelsier's crew to spy on them. The third army consists of Koloss, massive, brutish blue creatures once controlled by the Lord Ruler, and is led by Elend's former friend Jastes, who is buying the Koloss' obedience with counterfeit coins. The second army is led by Ashweather Cett, self-declared king of the Western Dominance.
The first army is led by Straff Venture - head of House Venture, and Elend's father. Three armies lay siege to Luthadel because of its rumored wealth of Atium and political influence. Elend Venture has claimed the crown of the capital city, Luthadel, and attempts to restore order, but various hostile forces converge on the city. The Final Empire is in turmoil as various regions descend into anarchy following the Lord Ruler's death and the disappearance of the Steel Ministry.
